This Company is established to carry out, on an impor tant scale, the manufacture of steel under Bessemer's or other patents, to construct steel ordnance, manufacture steel shot and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture and erect steam engines, boilers, and all kinds of machinery and im plements for mining, manufacturing, and agricultural pur poses, and to carry on the business of engineers and mill wrights, at Tavistock, in the county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the purchase, on terms favourable for the Company, of the pre znises, machinery, plant, stock in trade, patent rights and goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company, Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works have been successfully canted on for the last sixty years, and who have long since established a reputation for the excellence of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers, chains, hammered iron, edge tools, and every description of The zuiraing and other m ac hi nery. p ro perty consists o f a b out th i rteen acres of land, held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and c orta omprises, besid es the groun d d evoted to the works, a com the manager fble mansion with plant a ti ons an d grounds, a house for all of w , and cottages and gard ens f or t h e workmen, hich are let at remunerative rentals. There is also mover -failing water-power, maintained at the c os t o f t h e Duke of Bedford, sufficient carry on all the operations of the Company, and by means of which great economy and a proportionate increase of profit is secured. The Property and business thus purchased include several valuable patent rights and contracts ; amongst others a very advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined to effect a complete revolution in the scientific working of mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture the Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to the shareholders, have been provisionally secured, and will be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to undertake them. The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign Governments, to satisfy the shareholders that handsome dividends will be realised. The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply mouth Sound, and by railway from all other parts of the kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount at business with mines can be ensured. The Company will take possession of the works on the 30th of April, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of Messrs.es Gill an d Co. ' s business since the 30th of September, as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since that date. No proruotion money wh a t ever w i ll be paid.

An Effectual and Speedy Remedy for the Gout, Rheu matiim, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia. This invaluable Medicine is so pre - eminently efficadous as to admit of no parallel. Instancei have been known, in which sufferers have been confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less than 24 hours after taking the above medicine and themselves rendered ab'e to resu me th e i r avocations, Indeed, the effect has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence, challenges the medical world to produce a medicine equal to it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the human frame it adds an agreeable impetus; to the system generally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and male or female may take it to equal advantage.

The weather to-day, though there was a strongish and cool breeze, was remarkably favourable for the comfort of visitors to the course, and for a large attendance. The latter, however, was not so nurorous as on Tuesday. Greatly in contrast with the inactivity at the rooms on the previous evening, there was on Tuesday night some spirited specula tion on the Derby, and during the short period betting went on more money was invested on the Surrey event than has occurred for several days past. General Peel, against whom there were several offers, appeared to be on the decline until the arrival of Mr. Steel, who picked up seven fifties, which bet led to an offer on the part of "Major" Booth of six "monkeys." This was also greedily snapped up by the Sheffielder, and after backing the animal at 3,000 to 600, he accepted 600 to 100, and a few minor bets at the same ratio of odds. Several of the outside division were backed for small sums, and Scottish Chief was supported for £lOO at 8 to 1. Catabuscan, at a point in advance of these,odela would hive been freely backed, and Ely would have been invested upon for considerable sums at 2d to 1, but not more than 2G to 1 was obtainable. Baragah and Forager were not much in request, though 40's to 1 would have been taken to money about Lord St. Vincent's horse. several cross bets were made, Prince Arthur and Coastguard being backed against each other for £2OO in their places—the best of one, two, or three. Paris was also favoured with support for a place. The racing commenced tu• day at one o'clock with the Eglinton Stakes, which brought out three runners, and the eagerness with which "the fielders" bet anti cipated the position which the favourite Benanoar ob tained. For the Flying Dutchman's Handicap there were 9 runners, Little Stag, who on dit had been sold to Lord St. Vincent for £3OOO, being the favourite. At one time he was backed against the field, but at the close 6 to 5 agst him were the current odds. Lytham, the Monk, and My Mary were the next in demand. The race was preceded by a false start, after which Mr. Marshall got them well away together, with the exception of Goldylocks and Newmarket; but these two soon joined the rest. For a mile they ran upon pretty equal terms, but afterwards Little Stag and The Monk cane away, and the two ran a close race to the half distance, whet e they separated, and The Monk had the best to the finish, and won by half a length. The Tyro Stakes were contested by the three entered, and resulted in the victory of Jig, who realised 90 guineas to the fund. The Consolation Scramble produced a field of five of the seven entered, the absentees being Loafer and Newchursh. Speculation thereon was confined principally to Eapunda and Theobalda, the latter of which, from the Whitewall stable, securing the first vic tory of the meeting for the Great Northern establishment. The Londesborough Cup brought 14 runners to the post, and, consequent on The Monk's easy victory, Amazonian was made a great favourite; but the recent excellent pub. lie form of East Lancashire prayed the more truthful criterion to the selection of the winner, East Lancashire repeating the second victory of the meeting, though by no details of which are given bel ow , call for no spec i a l re means gaining easily.

After one false start the lot, with th e exception of Goldy locks and Newmarket, who were rather u nru l y at th e post, were admirably started. Flirtation cut out the work for a short distance, when Lytham took up the running, but half way along the Woodside Newmarket and Goldylocks joined the Newmarket horse, the three going on in ease comprny, Little Stag proceeding fourth some distance in advance of the others, who were headed by Flirtation and Donnybrook. They ran thus until half way round the bend, where Goldy.- locks and Newmarket dropped from the front, and Little Stag took second place, and The Monk drew up to the leaders. Lytham hung out signals of distress half a mile from home, whereupon Little Stag, with The Monk on his right, were left in front, and the two came on in close com pany, and an exciting race ensued with the two to the dis tance, where, however, The Monk obtained an advantage, which he maintained, and won by half a length. A dozen lengths separated the second and third, and a similar dis tance divided Donnybrook and Merry Maid ; My Mary Lytham, and Newmarket passed the post at scattered in tervals in the order named.

The Coneoletio4 Scramble of 30 coos, addev,i ici Handicap The Lord Chancellor's Bill has been printed. It provides that no suit shall be brought "in any court" for a money demand not exceeding £2O, unless within one year after some part of it became payable, reckoning no time during which the debtor was absent from England; and (subject to the same reckoning no process shall issue on judgments of any Court for a sum not exceeding £2O (on a money demand), unless within a year from their date, or from the last pay ment becoming due, or Ling male, or two years in case of fraudulent conduct on the part of the dsLtor. The power of a County Court to commit to prison on a judgment for a sum not exceeding £2O is to cease except es now to be men tioned. If on the hearing of a judgment summons it appears that the debtor has not any means or reasonable expectation of being able to pay any pact of his debts, the judge may decline to make any order; but if it appear otherwise, the judge is to order him to deliver to the registrar a statement of his debts and assets, and attend to be examined, notice to be given to the creditors and protection granted meantime; and if the debts owing by the debtor turn out to exceed £5O, or if he is found to possess property which cannot be taken under any process of a County Court, the Court may ad judge him a bankrupt. The Court may order his property to be seized and sold, taking household goods and wearing ap parel beyond the value of £4, and tools beyond £3. Upon examination of the judgment debtor and consideration of all the circumstances (or in his absence at the time appointed), the Court is to order him, unless he is adjudged a bankrupt, to pay into court such sum as it shall think proper by in stalments for division among the creditors, and a copy of the order is to be sent to his employer, who is to stop the instalment out of his wages. If he has obtained credit by false pretences, or been guilty of fraud or breach of trust, or wilfully contracted a debt without reasonable expecta tion of being able to pay it, or disposed of or concealed pro perty with intent to defraud his creditors, or since the judg ment wilfully wasted his income by unjustifiable extrava gance, the judge may commit him to prison as a misdemean ant for not more than two months ; but when discharged he is not to be liable to any other imprisonment under this act. Upon payment of the last instalment ordered of the Court he is to e:eceive a certificate discharging him from his debts. The bill fur. her provides that no action shall be brought to recover any debt for ale or beer consumed on the premises where sold or supp:ied. If an action is brought in a superior court for a debt not ex ceeding £2O, it may be removed into the County Court on the a l ;nlication of the defendant; or the defendant may within eight ways pay the debt without any costs; or, if he suffer judgment by default, the plaintiff shall recover no costs; nor if the pi intiff obtains a verdict, unless the Judge certifies. Actions b; ought in a superiorq Court for malicious prosecution, illegal arrest or distress• assault, false imprisonment, seduction, And any other action of tort, may if a judge shall think fit, be removed into the County Court (unless the plaintiff gives security for costs), on an affidavit that the plaintiff has no visible means of paying costs. We come now to the proposed grant of equitable jurisdiction to the County Courts. Every suit that may now be prosecuted in Chancery may hereafter be brought in the County Courts if such suit falls within the following rules :—The demand must not exceed £lOO, unless it be a distributive share of property; the whole property sought to be distributed or administered in any suit must not exceed £5OO ; if land is sought to be recovered or sold, it must not exceed the value of £lO a year; it mortgaged property is sought to be fore-closed or sold, the mortgage must not exceed £300; if a partnership is to be dissolved or wound up, the property must not exceed £5OO ; where the suit is for specific performance or cancelling of an arrange ment for sale of property, its value must not exceed £3OO Lastly, no injunction is to be granted by a County Court; nor any suit entertained involving a question concerning the sanity of a testator. There is to be a right of appeal to the Court of Chancery against the decision of the judge on any matter of law or equity, or on the admission or rejec- tion of evidence. Salaries to be increased out of the fees to be taken for all this additional business, but the salary of the judge is not to exceed £1,600 a year. HYDROPHOBIA IN LIVERPOOL.—Another death from hydrophobia occurred in Liverpool on Tuesday, the victim being a boy named Samuel Leech, who was bitten in the lip about a month ago by a shepherd's dog, belonging to a farmer living at West Derby, near Liverpool, THE RUSSIAN NAVY.—A largo armour-plated steam ram, of between 3,000 and 4,000 tons, built by an English firm, Messrs. Charles Mitchell and Co,, of Low Walker, on the Tyne, will be launched from the Go vernment dockyard, St. Petersburg, this month, for the Russian Government. She has been built by English workmen sent out from this ccuntry, and her armour-plates havo also been manufactured in England. A gunboat, built by English workmen, will also be launched about the same time. THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS. -- The struggle between the masters and the men may now be said to have actually commenced, and in such a manner as to test in a very short time the strength of either party. On the fact being made known on Monday that the masters' association had agreed to open the two collieries on strike to all men who wished to go - in on the old terms, a meeting was held at Moyle Mill the same evening, when the men were enjoined to stand firm, as the union would support theca until the advance asked was conceded. A resolution pledging the meeting to stand out until the men received the 10 per cent, was unanimously agreed to. On Tuesday evening a good deal of excitement was created in Barnsley by the arrival in the centre of the town of some hundreds of colliers, with a cart, pulled by men, containing a number of the Oaks workmen, with printed notices on their hats. It appeared that the men belonging to that colliery had re• ceived notice to quit the houses occupied by them under the the proprietors of the colliery that afternoon. The Queen held a second Court at Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon. Her Msjesty, accompanied by their Royal High nesses the Princess Helena and the Princess Louise, and attended by the Hon.

Sir Edward Cast, K.C.IT., her Majesty's Master of the Ceremonies. Lord Methuen and Captain Sir William Hoste were the Lord and Groom in Wait- , ing. _ Her Majesty honoured Baron Marochotti with a visit to his studio; and afterwards, accompanied by Princess Louise, returned to Windsor by special train on the South Western Railway. A correspondent of the _Reader, signing himself A, J. Ellis, and dating his communication from Colney Hatch (Park), April 30, 1864, writes :--- "In reference to your remarks on it's me in your notice of Dean Alford's 'Plea for the Queen's Eng, lish,' I conside r th a t t h e p h rase i t is I is a modern i sm, or rather a gram mat i c i sm — that i s, it was never in popular use, but was introduced solely on some grammatical hypothesis as to having the same case before and after the verb is. It does not appear to have been consonant with the feelings of Teutonic tribes to use the nominative of the personal pro nouns as a predicate. To them —and therefore to English people—it is lis just es strange as est ego cr r 1 iya), would be to Latin or Greek. These last languages require ego sum, 64'0 filet (Matt. xiv. 27; Mark vi. 50; John vi, 20). The predicate was here simply omitted. In Goth'c we have precisely the same construction, ik ins (John vi. 20). The English Wycliffite translations both give I am. But the Anglo-Saxon version, like the modern German, is not content with leaving the predicate unexpressed, and we find is hit eon?, ; High German, ich bin es;; literally, lam it; namely, that which you see. The Heliand paraphrase is very explicit (Schme!ler's ed., p. 90, line 2), 1k hiusn that barn Godes' (6 I am the Son of God'). The Welsh and Gaelic try to be emphatic, the first saying myfi ydyw (q. d. myself am), and the second, is raise a to ann (q. d. it's myself that's living). But of course we do not look to these languages as a guide to English. The Danish is very peculiar and important on account of its intimate relation with English. As in Eng. lieh, the dative and accusative cases of the personal pronouns now coincide in Danish, Jeg, 7/4 (I, me); Du, dig (thou, thee; Han, ham (he, him). We find the following rule laid down in Tobiesen'e Danische Sprachlehre (Sternhagen's ed., 1828, p. 215) :—' After the impersonal verbs, deter and det bliver (it is), the personal pronouns jeg, du, han are not used in the nominative, but in the dative, as det er mig der har gjort det (it's me that did it); deter Dig, som har veeret nzester derfor (it's thee who was its master) ; dee bliver ham som vi ville tale axed (it's him that we wish to speak with [where also the construction of the relative and preposition is Eng lish]; and similarly in the plural : deter os, jer, dem (it's us, you, them).' This is perfectly explicit, and shows the same construction as the English ; but in the Testament the wish to be uncolloquial has apparently forced the translator to depart from the usual custom when the wcrds are given to Jesus, but he returns to it when they are echoed by Peter (Matt. xiv. 27, 28). Jesus—s«gde :—dct er jeg—men Peder—sagde Ilerre, dersom deter ba byd tnig," &c. (" Jesus said, It is I ; but Peter said, Lord if it is thee, bid me,' &e.) The conclu sion seems to be that it's me is good English, and it's lis a mistaken purism. We have now, I think, come to regard the objective form of the personal pronoun as a predicative form, and this will justify that's him, although the Danes will say dcnite er lion' (that's he). We are therefore in the same condition as the F:ench with I hair c'est2noi,' though we have not quite reached their 'lui n'osait pas' (He/ didn't dire)." A WAGER AT WRIST.--I tell the story as nearly as I can as he related it to me. "I used to play a good deal with Rechberg," said he, "and took pleasure in worrying him, for he was a great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by an authority. In fact, each game was followed by a discus sion of full half an hour, to the intense mortification of the other players, though very amusing to me, and offering me large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian. One evening, after a number of these discussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irri tability, I found myself opposed to him in a game, the in threat of which had drawn around us a large assembly of spectators—what the French designate as le galerie. To wards the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and I played a card which so astounded the Austrian minister, that ho laid down his cards upon the table and stared fixedly at me, In all my experience of whist,' said he, deliberately, I never saw the equal of that.' Of what ?' asked I, Of the card you have just played,' rejoined he, It is not merely that such play violates every principle of the game, but it acually stultifies all your own combina tions.' ' I think differently, count,' said I, ' I maintain that is good play, and I abide by it.' Let us decide it by a wager,' said he, 'ln what way ?' Thus :We shall leave the question to the galerie. You shall allege what you deem to be the reasons for your play, and they shall decide if they accept them as valid,' I agree. What will you bet?' Ten napoleons—twenty, fifty, five hundred if you like I' cried he warmly. I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don't want to punish you too heavily.' ' There is the jury, sir,' said he haughtily ; make your case.' The wager is this,' said I, 'that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had a sufficient and good reason. Yes. My reason was this, then—l looked into your hand I' I pocketed his ten napo leons, but they were the last I won of him. Indeed it took a month before he got over the shock.—B/achecood's Magazine for May. THAMES CONSERVANCY.—The following is the general report of the proceedings of the conservators of the river Thames, appointed by and under the powers of the Thames Conservancy Act, 1857, from the Ist day of January, 1363, to the 31st day of December, 1863. The conservators of the river Thames have, during the Yea r ended December 31, 1863, exercised the powers vested in of s.ll t h consists them by a careful supervision over the river within the e limits of their jurisdiction, The conservators have carried on dredging operations for the improvement of the , r , iver hey as far as the means at their disposal have admitted. the material of which have commenced the removal of a shoal situs!e_cle_ nearly i n mid-stream off Dagenham, the surface chiefly of conglomerate gravel hard e nough to justify the character—viz, hard appellation it has commonly received of r ock.l Consider able progress has also been made in the remova of a shoal off Blackwell, known as the Gun Shoal, being d in course of construction, to it is composed being of a similar con glomerate, and very difficult to astremove, The powerful dredging machine which in their. annual report the con servators thorn described s t e a rib e d a executes Embankment Act has been completed. In their last annual Parliament the conservators described the legal report to difficulties they bad met with in carrying into effect the improvement of the steamboat landings near London-bridgbeene —those early overcome, part of thethe year, pier a andt Old t ge _ a . —those has been found to be a great public convenience. A very numerously signed application having been received from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Southwark, and persons carrying on business at Bankside, requesting the conservators to place a steamboat pier in that locality, they difficulties Swan Stairsdilli transferred thither the Blackfriars pier, which, in conse quence of the erectic It of the two new bridges, had to be removed. The Blackfriars pier it is proposed shall be re- Placed when practicable. The moorings alluded to in last year's report as being about to be laid down in Gravesend Reach fur troop and emigrant ships have been completed to the number of four, and they have been found so convenient sleesrhectveldtnhgiend trhe that the.conservators have determined to extend them by placing four more, and they have accordingly provided the necessary gear for the purpose. The repairs and renewals required from time to time for all the other moorings have been effected so as to preserve them in the greatest possible state of efficiency. The banks, locks, weirs, and towing paths in the western part of the district within the jurisdiction of the conservators have been maintained, and, as far as opportunity has occurred, have been improved. Eighty vessels have been sunk in the river during theyear, all of which have been raised, Th ere h ave b een 2i grants for embankments, and 36 for jetties, piles, and other accom modation. The conservators have met for the despatch of business 138 times during the year.
